My family favorite was always the yellow cake with chocolate, ideally served when still just a little bit frozen inside. It was an occasional treat when we were kids and then something we’d eat together during visits home. For many years we’d call my parents during our drive home and tell them to take the cake out,…

Seriously, what are they made of? Recycled elementary school chalk???

I have never had “Cupid Corn” but would still rank it over conversation hearts. Then again, I’d also rank baby aspirin over conversation hearts. 

Yes, Impossible and Beyond were trying to do the big audacious leap by targeting all consumers instead of the smaller share that are vegetarian/vegan. I do think they were smart about it, encouraging people to use them on a Meatless Monday or similar and arguing that even that small step would have significant…

I’d normally say they would use a Latinx cast member to play someone from Brazil but at this point Santos has lied about so much stuff they could cast literally anyone or anything. Maybe this could be a role for the dog he ripped off via GoFundMe!

Wow, I had not heard that. How awful, it’s really going to mess up the lives of so many folks there, especially anyone LGBTQ+, and devastate areas that rely on tourism. Looks like officials in Bali are already claiming the laws won’t be enforced against tourists and that people should still come visit, but I’d hardly…

This movie was also TERRIBLE. I couldn’t get through 15 minutes of it on HBO Max. Makes the choices here even more questionable!

I mean, nepotism is wrong and everything, but these are still people. Would you like it if one of your parents came forward and publicly said you were terrible at something and didn’t deserve to be hired? Parents are always going to say their kids are great, and everyone knows they have to and just ignores what they…

I don’t really see the Maldives being a good fit for a season about Eastern religion. It’s a strongly Muslim country and having been there earlier this year, I can attest that they are very careful to keep tourists away from local culture. For many years, resorts were legally required to be built on otherwise…

Maybe it will be like the emails you get from an airline offering you 200 miles after they’ve ruined your vacation and put you through hell: “Dear Mr. Hunt: We are so sorry your wife passed away after a brutal gangland slaying while staying at our resort. Rest assured that this is not the level of service we aspire to…

Totally. The setup makes sense if they were going to blackmail her or have her die of an overdose, but if you’re going to just shoot her, why even bother being seen with her publicly to begin with, let alone taking her to Quentin’s home??? Tanya isn’t traveling with a security guard or anything and could have been…

Not even if he inherits Tanya’s Blossom points and status? ;-)

OMG, I loved Giri/Haji and had no idea that was the same actor. 

The murder plot was so incredibly poorly thought out who KNOWS what they had in mind. Certainly Quentin didn’t seem fazed at all when Portia called Tanya, you’d think he’d be more concerned if he thought she was dead/had escaped being killed. This whole “give her a nice evening” before killing her idea is also…

White has apparently said he’s thinking about exploring themes around Eastern religion and death in the 3rd season. So how about a newly wealthy Greg in Bali, having just discovered his health issues have returned. If that becomes the last season it will also make a nice trilogy around the Tanya story.

In the very first scene Daphne raves about the food to the two randoms she’s sitting next to on the beach. Obviously it’s way easier to film everything in the same locale since the production took over the entire hotel during the off season, but it could certainly be explained by having everyone on half board.

Clearly Tanya is not going to die, White has said before that he could see White Lotus continuing on with her as the only holdover character - which would also make sense if she is a charter member of their loyalty club! But consistent with the “poor people are the only ones who truly suffer” ethos, I could see…

On some other boards, I’ve seen people speculate that Greg is the “cowboy” Quentin said he’d do anything for and that Quentin will kill off Tanya so Greg can get her money. They added Greg being upset that Portia came along and being so focused on giving her “one nice day” as proof points. I’m not sure I agree - Greg…

They also showed Daphne in the water with a leg I believe and IIRC it looked like a relatively young female leg? 

IIRC Lucia watched everyone getting off the boat and also sat in front of the hotel when Dom and his family walked out the first day. She may not have been formally introduced to Albie but would have seen him with both Dom and Bert, and IRL presumably there would have been some kind of family resemblance. It seems…
